EXTRA RINSE button
Thanks to the new electronic system, acting on the button is possible to effect a new special rinse
cycle. The addition of a lot of more water and the new action combined of cycles of rotation of the
drum with load and unloading of water, allow to get laundry perfectly rinsed.
This function has been studied for the people with delicate and sensitive skin, for which also a
least residue of detergent can cause irritations or allergies.
It advises to also use this function for the children items and in case of washings of very dirty
items, for which it is due to use a lot of detergent, or in the washing of towelling items whose fibers
mostly have the tendency to hold the detergent.
This button is not available in the Wool/Hand wash programmes.
F
COLD WASH button
By pressing this button it is possible to transform every programme into a cold washing one,
without modifying other characteristics (water level, times, rythmes, etc...).

The Fast Iron function (Not available on COTTON programmes) minimizes creases as much
as possible with a uniquely designed anti-crease system that is tailored to specific fabrics.
MIXED FABRICS - the water is gradually cooled throughout the final two rinses with no
spinning and then a delicate spin assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.
DELICATE FABRICS – after the final two rinses with no spinning the machine stops in the
final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum,
thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing.

Programme selector
For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has different
programme bands according to: wash cycle, temperature and length of cycle (see table of
washing cycle programmes).
RESISTANTS FABRICS
The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the
rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing.
The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.
MIXED AND SYNTHETIC FABRICS
The main wash and rinse gives the best results thanks to the rotation
rhythms of the drum and to the water levels.
A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.
SPECIAL “RINSE” PROGRAMME
This programme carries out 3 rinses with a intermediate spin. It can be
used for rinsing any type of fabric, eg. use after hand-washing.
SPECIAL “FAST SPIN” PROGRAMME
Programme “FAST SPIN” carries out a maximum spin.
DRAIN ONLY
This programme drains out the water.
SPECIAL DELICATE FIBRES
This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is
particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and
rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.
WOOLMARK PROGRAMME
A programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark.
The cycle comprises of alternate periods of activity and pauses. The
programme has a maximum temperature of 40° and concludes with 3
rinses and a short spin.
SPECIAL SILK PROGRAMME
This washing machine also has a gentle Silk and Hand Wash
programme cycle. This programme allows a complete washing cycle for
garments specified as ‘Hand Wash only’ and laundry items made from
Silk on the fabric label.
The programme has a maximum temperature of 30° and concludes with
3 rinses and no final spin.
DAILY WASH 40°C – FAST 44’
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in
approximately 44 minutes:
- a maximum load of 3,5 kg;
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)
We recommend, with this programme, a 30% detergent loading dose
(compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.
DAILY WASH 30°C – FAST 29’
A complete washing cycle (wash, rinse and spin), able to wash in
approximately 29 minutes:
- a maximum load of 2 kg;
- lightly soiled fabrics (cotton and mixed fabrics)
We recommend, with this programme, a 20% detergent loading dose
(compared to the normal one), in order to avoid detergent waste.

Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:
- the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent;
- the compartment labelled " " is for special additives,
fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;
- the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash
detergent.
NOTE:
Some detergents are difficult to
utilise. Ensure to use an in drum
dispenser if recommended by
the detergent manufacturer.
Note: Only put liquid products in the compartment
labelled “ ”. The machine is programmed to
automatically take up additives during the final rinse
stage for all wash cycles.
17
Automatic Variable Capacity
The washing machine is fitted with an automatic reduction in consumption system (known as
Automatic Variable Capacity).
This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the
laundry in relation to the particular load.
This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and electricity needed to heat it to the
minimum required, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance.
In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the amount of
washing.
The washing machine therefore ensures you achieve excellent washing results whilst
respecting the environment and saving you money.
16
P
Dosages
Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine.
You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products
and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well
as the type of detergent to choose.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
- water hardness: depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it
is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.
- the degree of soiling: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on
the degree of soiling.
- amount of laundry: it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a
small amount of laundry.
Dosage for powder detergent
For normal and low concentration detergents: for normally soiled laundry choose a
programme without prewash.
Put the detergent in compartment “II” of the drawer.
For heavily soiled laundry, choose a programme with prewash.
Put 1/4 of the detergent in compartment “I”, 3/4 in compartment “II” of the drawer.
When using water softeners, first put in the detergent, then add the softener to compartment “II”.
For highly concentrated detergents not in single dose format, follow what is shown on pack
exactly as regards type and amount of dosage.
To avoid the difficulty of checking if the detergent has been taken up, use the dosage aids
provided in the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent dosage
Liquid detergents may be used in accordance with the instructions on the relevant
packaging, for all programmes without prewash, by using the special container which is
placed in the drum or, for those models that have it, in the special insert for liquid detergents.
19
Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents
- Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for
use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.
- Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,
cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain
bleach.
- Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.
Additional laundry aids
- Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as
hard to very hard.
- Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free
detergents.
- Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.
If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.
Do not put solvents in the washing machine!
Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.
Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent
drawer.
Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.
18
Main wash
Sorting the laundry
- It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
- If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
- Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and
treatment of the laundry
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
Wash by hand
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
- Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the
machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".
- Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.
Note: when sorting laundry
- check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
- button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
- remove curtain hooks;
- pay close attention to the labels on items
- if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
- We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.
21
Useful advice for users
Tips on using your domestic appliance in the most environmentally-friendly and economical
way
Do a full load in your washing machine
To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent we recommend that you put a
full load in your washing machine, not exceeding the recommended maximum load size.
Up to 50% energy saving can be made with one full load compared to two half load washes
When is prewashing really needed?
Only with particularly dirty loads!
Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for normal soiled
laundry.
Which wash temperature should you choose?
Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures
over 60°C.
Energy savings of up to 50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather than
90°C.
20
Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine,
just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance:
- Cleaning the drawer compartments.
- Cleaning the filter.
- Cleaning the door glass.
Cleaning the drawer compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the
compartments for bleaching detergents and additives
occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without
forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling
large deposits which could block the discharge hose (coins,
buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least once a month.
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1) Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below
the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to
be inside the pump
2) Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical
position.
Remove and clean.
3) After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of
the filter clockwise.
Cleaning the door glass
Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of
soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking
from the door.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.
Transporting the appliance or long
periods when appliance is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long
periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be
completely removed from the hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it
downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied
out.When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
23
The correct way to wash
Preparing the laundry
A) Select the laundry.
Loading the laundry
B) Open the porthole.
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.
Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of
laundry are obstructing the lock.
Putting detergent in machine
D) Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in
the correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and the advice on page 18.
Add any other laundry aids (see page 18). Close the
drawer again.
Selecting the wash programme
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the
most suitable programme.
Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated.
Wait for the “STOP” indicator light to flash.
Press additional function buttons (if required).
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.
Press the "Start/Pause" button.
When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion.
The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected
programme till cycle ends.
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special
memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where
it left off.
When the programme is finished
At the end of the programme the indicator light “STOP” will go on.
Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).
The "Door Security" indicator light will go out.
Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector on the “OFF” position. Open the
door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.
22
Note:
The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects:
- waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in
suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected;
- presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by
the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric.
- The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor
rinsing.
- Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to
remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable
foam production.
- Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.

Installation & Decor Door Fitting
Décor Strip
A décor strip is required to fill the gap between the top of the appliance and the underside of
the worktop. We recommend that facia FTK1389 is used for this purpose and is screwed to
the underside of the worktop or by KD fixings to the adjacent cabinets.
Note: The infill facia may need to be cut to fit dependant on the height of the appliance.
2) Full Height Door
If a full height door is being used then a top hinge hole will have to be drilled in the door. The
distance between the two hinge holes centres is 384mm and 21.5mm from the edge of the
door.
The hole diameter for the hinge is 35mm and should be drilled to a depth of 12mm, care must
be taken to ensure that you do not drill through the door. The pilot holes for fixing the hinge
should be drilled with 2mm diameter drill.
Fasten the magnetic catch striker plate ‘D’ to
the front of the appliance, placing the rubber
washer ‘E’ under the plate and screw in place
with screws ‘G’.
Snap mount plastic cover cap ‘H’ into the lower
hinge position.
Mount the door and hinges to the front of the
appliance using screws ‘L.
Note: It is recommended that where possible
the décor door is hinged on the same side as
the appliance door as this will give greater
space to load and unload the washing.

It is important that the feet are adjusted to
ensure that the appliance is level, this is
essential to ensure quiet operation.
Once the feet have been adjusted to the
correct height it is important that they are
locked in position using the locking nuts.
Fitting the Décor Door
The front of the appliance has been drilled to
accommodate the hinges to enable the door to
be opened from the left or right hand side.
We suggest you proceed as follows:
1) Standard Height Door & Dummy Drawer
Front
Screw the hinges onto the décor door, ‘A then
fasten the dummy drawer front to the top edge
of the door. Ensure that the gap between the
door & drawer front matches the units on either
side.
Fasten the magnetic catch ‘B’ using screw ‘C’
to the décor door.

Water connection
The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new
hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be re-used.
The machine has an inlet hose with 3/4" B.S.P threaded end
connection to attach between the threaded connector on the
appliance and the cold water supply.
This machine only uses cold water, therefore
only one hose is needed to connect to the cold
water supply. Do not connect to the hot supply.
Cold fill is an energy efficient system. Only the
water required for the washing is heated.There
is no loss of heat in the pipeline from a hot
water tank or boiler to the machine.
